      Just wait till he tries it. You can't taste any beetroot but it has a really nice deep chocolaty taste.

        Oh and if you haven't any fresh beetroot to cook, the ready cooked vacuum packed beetroot works fine. (as long as it's not in vinegar!)

          Ooooh! Really gotta do this one, The last cake I made was really healthy as it had no sugar in it and this one's just as good for you with all that beetroot -must count towards the 5 a day.
